Playing around with the Mandala Track for Large Hoops prototype pieces and made this.
(Black) Made it with a 70 gear in the 75 ring in the square cartridge. I kept the track (the rack pieces that contain the cartridge) shorter than the full width of the 420 ring so that it was easier to step around the inside of the ring.
starting at 1A and progressing to 7B with two movements between each iteration. The track was moved 5 steps counter clockwise and the cartridge was moved 3 steps along the track. After reaching 7B the series was reversed going though all the pen holes again back down to 1A. For this reversed set the track movement was reversed to 5 steps clockwise, but the 3 steps for the cartridge kept going in the same direction.
(Red) Moved the cartridge to the far end of the track, stepped the track 15 teeth CW (clockwise) before making the first design. Process for the iterations was similar to that for black, except the cartridge was moved 2 steps instead of 3 and the direction of rotation of the track started CW and reversed to CCW.
If the parts look a bit messy, that is because these prototypes are cut from acrylic that had other incomplete gear set test prints on them already; so the black markings, while looking like wild gears type marks, don't make any sense in this context because I've done the equivalent of using the back of a sheet of paper.
